Open science practices, such as pre-registration and data sharing, increase transparency and may improve the replicability of developmental science. However, developmental science has lagged behind other fields in implementing open science practices. This lag may arise from unique challenges and considerations of longitudinal research. In this paper, preliminary guidelines are provided for adapting open science practices to longitudinal research to facilitate researchers' use of these practices. The guidelines propose a serial and modular approach to registration that includes an initial pre-registration of the methods and focal hypotheses of the longitudinal study, along with subsequent pre- or co-registered questions, hypotheses, and analysis plans associated with specific papers. Researchers are encouraged to share their research materials and relevant data with associated papers and to report sufficient information for replicability. In addition, there should be careful consideration of requirements regarding the timing of data sharing, to avoid disincentivizing longitudinal research.

将开放科学和预注册应用于纵向研究

开放科学实践，例如预注册和数据共享，可以提高透明度，并可能提高发展科学的可复制性。然而，发展科学在实施开放科学实践方面落后于其他领域。这种滞后可能源于纵向研究的独特挑战和考虑。本文提供了将开放科学实践应用于纵向研究的初步指南，以促进研究人员使用这些实践。该指南提出了一种串行和模块化的注册方法，包括纵向研究的方法和焦点假设的初始预注册，以及与特定论文相关的后续预注册或共同注册的问题、假设和分析计划。鼓励研究人员与相关论文分享他们的研究材料和相关数据，并报告足够的信息以实现可复制性。此外，应仔细考虑有关数据共享时间的要求，以避免阻碍纵向研究。
